I would vote for Nixon as he is now, dead for 30 years, over Trump. America would be better off with a 4-year vacancy than Trump.

I'd take Bushy Jr over trump. I'd take Adrian Monk over trump.

I don't give a fuck what some shit billionaire says in public. I care where the money goes.

His money is going into innovations and a self administered company to sell prescription drugs at "cost plus" that creates an immense amount of transparency in the market and give users a better option than going on the usual channels.

From all the assholes with more than 9 zeroes as net worth he's one of the few who will tell you straight up that he's hard working but also was in the right place at the right time.

He is actually (believe it or not) one of the good ones. Do yourself a favor and look into Mark Cuban. He truly is self made and he has done a lot to give back.

He's a billionaire. That's all you need to know about his morals. There's no ethical way to become a billionaire

You aren't worth arguing with. Your logic is faulty. Just because someone is wealthy they aren't automatically an asshole and (to follow that logic) just because someone isn't wealthy doesn't mean they are virtuous by default. How about my wife and I? We are technically a 6 figure household. Does that make me or her an asshole? What about the people who got and will get lucky with crypto or other investments? Is someone who bought and held bitcoin at sub $100 or even sub $5000 and asshole because they may technically be worth multiples of millions depending on how much they are still holding?

Don't answer the above, I'm going to block you because you aren't capable of having an adult discussion.

They said billionaire and you're like "what about meee" you aren't in the billionaire club. A billionaire wouldn't respect you enough to spit on you.
